WS – Skinny

Had some fun this afternoon kicking back with paper, inks and images from Ten Two Studios to make a skinny for Wednesday Stamper.

Got the image from Green Collage sheets HERE and her Beau is an inchy punched from The Little Men sheets I am so partial to! Swirl stamp from Crafty Individuals.

An unearthly visitor…

TGIF asked for a skinny this week and I was in Christmas mode so I used the same background card, painted yellow, stamped with gesso snowflakes, smooshed with copper Brilliance ink and clear embossed! I stamped the Cherry Pie angel onto the skinny with black stazon and then stamped him again onto pale grey vellum. [...]

If the Cap fits…

I love Wednesday Stamper challenges, don’t you?! Even after a hard day’s work on my feet for 8 hours, coming home to cook dinner for us (yep, more standing!!), I couldn’t help popping upstairs to ‘chill’ with some paints, paper and stamps. I appear to be obsessed with Halloween this year and I made this [...]

I got published!!

Woohoo! This skinny “Dragonfly House” is my entry to This Thursday, it’s all about… Their theme is ‘Black is back’ and they want to see plenty of black. Well I just had to shout this from the rooftops, didn’t I? I submitted this piece to Elli Jenks at “Not Just Stamping” – an online publication [...]

This Thursday…

‘Colour is my obsession’ is this week’s theme at This Thursday, it’s all about…  So I was asked to step up and make some examples using collage sheets from Lisa’s Altered Art. These were rather fun to work with and I got a bit carried away with my sense of humour (as usual!!) Firstly I [...]

An ATC and a Skinny!

I feel so good now I’ve had an hour up in my room and had a chance to play again… art soothes the busy mind, the weary body and the restless soul. Not a quote, merely how I feel right now! I like playing with text pages and colours, so I made my backgrounds by [...]

When we were young…

Is this week’s Skinny Saturdays theme and I have made the ‘faux linen’ background for Saturday’s Workout with white and gold ink on black cardstock. (It IS there, Heike and Sandy!). My text reads: “Life was so simple…” Ain’t that the truth?!

The image of the children is from ‘that’ calendar and the advert is from a [...]

Things With Wings

Sarah at Skinny Saturday has closed her challenge blog for now as she has new ventures to pursue – and we wish her great good luck. So, with her blessing and a lot of encouragement, Caroline (of Auntys Forum), has started up Sea Gal’s Skinnys – skinny challenges on a Friday!
Here’s my interpretation of “Things [...]

Monday’s Child….

What a lovely theme Sarah (Skinny Saturday), picked us this week – straight out of a nursery rhyme: Monday’s child is fair of face. It’d be lovely to make the whole series… *idea forms*!! Here’s my skinny:

My ususal complex route!! Background was made using Trish’s glue resist technique – hence the wavy lines and rainbow [...]

Mixed Media Monday – a skinny!

I like waiting for Mondays to come around so I can join in with the Mixed Media Monday challenges! The theme this week is “Childhood”… lovely! Here’s the skinny I assembled for this challenge:

The background is one I made last year – an experiment. I got the idea when I came across a lovely blog, [...]
